Piña Colada Macaroons

Pina Colada Macaroons

Yes, I like Piña Coladas, but do people actually enjoy getting caught in the rain? Really? I might be ok with it if I had a pina colada with me.

With or without alcohol, it’s nearly impossible to have one of these delicious drinks and not think of a warm, sandy beach thanks to the perfect blend of coconut and pineapple. And sometimes rum… but that’s completely up to you. These macaroons are made using rum flavor and they taste just like the real thing. That way everyone can share them and you can even enjoy them at work, like I did today :)

I firmly believe that a drink garnish is a deeply personal decision. In my world, the best kind of decoration is the kind you can eat, but maybe you have something against cherries? You don’t have to explain yourself. Candied pineapple would make an excellent topping as well! Those little paper umbrellas aren’t considered edible, so why even bother?
